Cody Johnson Cancels 2025 Tour Dates Due to Surgery: A Look at the Country Star's Recovery Journey
Country music artist Cody Johnson has announced the cancellation of his remaining 2025 tour dates due to the need for surgery that will prevent him from singing for several weeks. The surgery is necessary to address a severe ear issue caused by an upper respiratory and sinus infection. Without the surgery, Johnson would face months of downtime, making the decision to cancel shows unavoidable. This unfortunate timing also means he will miss out on performing at the CMA Awards in November, where he was nominated for Entertainer of the Year.
The surgery and recovery process will require Johnson to take a break from singing, impacting his upcoming shows in Pittsburgh, Birmingham, Gonzales, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. Despite this setback, Johnson's career has been on an upward trajectory with hits like "I'm Gonna Love You," "Til You Can't," "Human," and "On My Way to You." His growing popularity has earned him a headline spot at Stagecoach in 2026, solidifying his status as a rising star in country music.
In addition to his professional commitments, Johnson is also preparing for the arrival of his third child with wife Brandi, adding a personal milestone to the mix. While the road to recovery may be challenging, Johnson's loyal fan base and promising career outlook suggest that he will bounce back stronger than ever.
